MS Paint: Western Edition

[Deadeye Jack]

Howdy Y’all!

Get those creative juices flowing because today marks the start of a new contest: MS Paint: Western Edition. This is a competition where you will use Microsoft Paint (or equivalent) to create an original drawing that evokes the Old West. This can be a wide range of things like a western landscape, a cowboy, a duel, a ghost town, really anything you can think of that fits the topic.

If you’re the artistic type this contest is definitely for you. If, like me, you can’t even draw a straight line, then don’t worry this still should be a lot of fun. Everyone who has the time should participate because there will be prizes!

Here’s how this is gonna work. You can submit a drawing in the contest thread on the forum or you can telegram –Deadeye Jack. Voting will work in a similar fashion

Submissions are due by June 26th
Voting will take place from June 26th- June 29th

I mentioned prizes before, we will be giving out forum money to the voters’ 3 favorite works of art.

First Prize : $1000
Second Prize: $500
Third Prize: $250

I can’t wait to see what the good folk of Fort Triumph come up with. Remember to have fun with it.

Sorry to everyone who wanted a fair competition, but as you can see, I am deserving of all 3 prizes

I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get this. 

[Deadeye Jack]

Alrighty. Submissions are now closed. It's now time to vote!

You can message me on the forum your 3 favorite works of art or you can DM me on Discord. You cannot vote for yourself. The entry with the most votes will win.

Votes are due by June 29th

Ok the votes are now in! Before we get to the results I'd like to thank everyone who participated and must say the entries were impressive and that some of you have opened my eyes some to what can be accomplished in MS Paint. I have a lot to learn!

Now, without further ado, here is how the voters saw things!

In third place, there was a tie between Sauron's fort and Deadeye Jack's horse. They will split the $250 prize!

In second place, with his rendition of a desert landscape during sunset, is Shizensky. He earns a a respectable $500 purse.

And finally, finishing with the top score and winning first place, the peoples' choice: Hardenburg's sunset rider. Hardenburg takes home the top prize of $1000, a hefty sum!

All winners please wait patiently for Benevolent Thomas to collect your money (I'm not sure if I have the power to do so)

Again thanks to all those who participated. See you next time!

[Sauron]

Worthy winner!

Congratulations.

[Shizensky]

This was a lot of fun! And killer job hardenburg!

I forgot I was supposed to get the man himself to bring our winning entry to life!

It actually makes the artwork seem even more impressive by being on the canvas. Incredible.
